GT-R: How Japan Created an Unstoppable Monster

Fun fact: every generation of the GT-R, starting from the R32 have set a lap record at the Nürbugring. No wonder why Porsche were so salty and accused Nissan of cheating.

Man we need more JDM documentaries like this! No over-editing, no bs,no loud music etc ! Absolutely loved your effort! Hoping more wonders from you !!

This is why the R32 is still my dream car. One day boys. One day.

In 1990 a gtr pulled up to the start line in a race track in japan.. it's competitors are starring at it's four round read brake lights..and for years that's all they ever see of it🔥

This guy is practically saving us car enthusiasts from becoming just pricey car lovers by telling us the untold stories..... Thanks man!

In the second half of the 1980s I worked for a major automotive magazine, and went to Nissan to interview a few brasses, including Yasuharu Namba of NISMO. He was a man of small stature, friendly and gentle and yet not prone to over-familiarity, and I couldn't help sensing that he always had a couple of projects being developed inside his head at all times. When Yutaka Kume announced the 901 movement, almost everyone at the editorial office was skeptical as Nissan seemed like a basket case at the time, I was one of two who were convinced that they're going to pull it off. With hindsight, those were the heady, glory days: heroes could well be those mild-mannered middle-age men in suits and ties, with the fires of a teenager within them.

Yep as a young guy I watched the r32gtr leave the other cars for dead.... Back then I was a Holden supporter.... Then dad brought a skyline as a family car... And l had to admit... It was a great car.. Years went buy and I had to have a skyline... I worked overtime saved and brought a 1990 r32gtr ...ill always remember the day I pulled into my dad's drive way. And I still own that car today. ❤

No one wears Nike because of LeBron we wear them because of the GOAT MICHAEL JORDAN

The story is so accurate. I’ve never seen a documentary on the R32 that touches on the subject of the R31 GTS-R’s HICAS system as well as the origins of the ATESSA-ETS which is exactly what made this a truly the most advanced production car at its time. Bravo to you guys for creating such a well researched tribute to this legendary car!

As an Aussie watching this, you nailed the Godzilla era and the impact it had to motorsport in this country. The R31 and R32 GTRs were the aspiration of many a young petrol head (they still are!)

Watching this makes me feel that much more proud and lucky to have a GT-R32 in my garage.

The way you bring your presentation and deliver your stories is truly epic. It’s why I loved Donut Media, Up to Speed before they lost their way for subscribers and an algorithm. You’re doing an amazing job. It’s a purists dream to watch! I wish you success in the future.

The GTR had a mostly stock and innocent looking body with minor bits of Ducts and a small spoiler, while really, it was a complete powerhouse internally. Meaning the GTR is an example of a Sleeper car.

Not only is the Nissan Godzilla a monster… but the construction of the story, and the story teller…. Very very well done.

In 1991 I lived in Japan for a study abroad program. The father of the family I stayed with had a GTR. What an awesome car it was.

This video is possibly the most beautiful thing i have ever seen on yt, the amount of work and dedication it must of taken to make this is incredible, To you and the team who worked on this, you are amazing and i hope you continue to do y’all’s magic

as both a car lover and a G fan (Godzilla), how can you not love the nickname they gave the GT-R. An all conquering monster of immense power, unrivalled, undefeated, unmatched. Such a shame that they stopped allowing them to compete here in Australia - the protective union mindset of trying to protect the local manufacturing industries was counter productive. Instead of getting innovative to regain that competitive edge, they got complacent and lazy.

1 minute in and I am completely hooked! I do not comment on videos ever, but this particular one is special. Narration is amazing where you feel connected to the story. When I went to your channel to look for more videos I see that you are just starting out, the quality from the start defines the journey, which I am excited to be a part of! I cannot wait for the stories that are yet to come! Subscribed for life, Best of luck with your journey :))

that begining gave me chills

Omg I am astonished at how amazing this video is. The passion and the way you articulate and make things sounds so badass almost made me cry from joy at how beautiful you made the GTR sound you are truly blessed man!!!
